WINEHOUSE APOLOGISES FOR RACIST CHANT

Troubled singer AMY WINEHOUSE has apologised for singing racist lyrics in a homemade video after details of the footage was published by a British tabloid newspaper.

The video - obtained by Britain's News Of The World newspaper - is believed to have been filmed by Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil before their nuptials last year (07).

In the footage, the Back To Black star is shown singing, "Blacks, Pakis, Gooks and Nips, Gooks and Nips! And deaf and dumb and blind and gay!", while Fielder-Civil tells her and a pal, known only as Sarah, that they aren't being filmed.

The star is also allegedly shown smoking what appears to be drugs through a pipe.

And now, Winehouse has told paparazzi photographers waiting outside her London home on Sunday (08Jun08) that she is sorry for the video blunder and any offense it may have caused, according to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

It isn't the first time Winehouse has been caught in a compromising position on film; earlier this year (08) the star was filmed allegedly taking a cocktail of illegal drugs and was even filmed in a bizarre video with British rocker Pete Doherty talking to a baby mouse.
